He had a wedding ceremony with Tracey Edmonds in 2008, though the marriage was not made legal.

The funny man also famously dated former Spice Girl Melanie Brown, with whom he has daughter, Angel.

The actor faced backlash for first denying that he was the father of her child, only acknowledging the truth after a paternity test proved she was his child. The actor is also the father of seven other children with different partners.

Murphy told the audience at the event honoring his career:

"I'm just a retired old song and dance man. That's what you do when you're retired: You come out every now and then and talk about the old days."
